Thierry Meyssan: NATO prepares large operation of disinformation

Thierry Meyssan: NATO prepares large operation of disinformation



 The Member members of NATO and of (P) GCC are preparing a coup and a genocide sectarian in Syria. If you want oppose to these crimes, act quickly:, please put this article in network and report it to your elected.

In a few days, perhaps even Friday, June 15, at noon, the Syrians want to watch the national channels they will be replaced on their television screens created by the CIA. Images made in the studio show massacres attributed to government, public events, ministers and generals who give their resignation, President al-Assad, who escaped, the rebels who gather in the heart of major cities, and a new government is installed in presidential palace.
This directly led by Washington, Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security of the United States, is intended to demoralize the Syrians and to allow a coup. NATO, which confronts the double veto by Russia and China, come to conquer Syria without having to illegally attack. Whatever opinion about current events in Syria, a military coup put an end to any hope of democracy.
Very formally, the Arab League has asked the satellite operator Arabsat and Nilesat to cease retransmission of the Syrian media, public and private (Syria TV, al-Ekbariya, ad-Dunya TV Cham, etc..). There is a precedent, since when the league had already worked on Libyan television censorship, to prevent the Libyan leader communicated with their people. There is no radio network in Syria, for which broadcasters have received only by satellite. But this cut will not leave the screen blacks.
In fact, this decision is just the public tip of the iceberg. According to reports, several international meetings will be held this week, to coordinate the operation of disinformation. The first two, technical, held in Doha (Qatar), the third politician, held in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
At first meeting have participated the officers of the war psychological "embedded" in some channels satellite, including al-Arabiya, al-Jazeera, BBC, CNN, Fox, France 24, Future TV, MTV. We know which since 1998 the officers Unity Operations of War Psicologica (PSYOP) of the U.S. Army are been inserted in the redaction of CNN; after, this practice is been extended by NATO to other stations TV strategic. They prepared in advance of the false information, according to a "story" developed by the team of Ben Rhodes at the White House. A cross-validation procedure has been developed, each media will report the lies of others, to make them credible with viewers. The participants also decided not only to seize the TV networks of the CIA to Syria and Lebanon (Barada, Future TV, MTV, Orient News, Shaab Syria, Syria Alghad), but also forty TV channels wahhabito who call on the sectarian massacre cry of "Christians in Beirut, the Alawites in the tomb!"
The second meeting brought together engineers and developers to program the production of images of fiction, in the studies made by mixing one part open and part made with computer graphics. Studies have been made in recent weeks, Saudi Arabia, to play the two Syrian presidential palace and the main squares of Damascus, Aleppo and Homs. There are already studies of this kind in Doha, but they are insufficient.
At the third meeting was attended by General James B. Smith, U.S. ambassador, a representative of the United Kingdom, and Prince Bandar bin Sultan (the President George Bush has designated as the adopted son, to the point that the U.S. press has called him "Bandar Bush"). This is to coordinate the media and "free-Syrian army," of which the mercenaries of Prince Bandar form the bulk of the workforce.
The operation that is in gestation from months, was accelerated by the Board of Safety States National United, after President Putin has communiqué to the Casa Bianca that Russia will oppose with force to any intervention illegal military of NATO in Syria.
This operation consists in two simultaneous streams: one part spread false information and on the other prevent any opportunity to respond.
The fact to obscure satellite TV to conduct a war, is not new. Thus, under pressure from Israel, the United States and European Union have dimmed in succession TV networks Lebanese, Palestinian, Iraqi, Libyan and Iranian. No censorship was conducted towards the satellite channels to other parts of the world.
The dissemination of false news, is not new. However, four important steps have been taken in the art of propaganda during the last decade.
• In 1994, a pop music station, Radio Mille Collines of Freedom (RTLM) has given the signal of the Rwandan genocide, calling for "killing cockroaches".
• In 2001, NATO has used the media to impose an interpretation of the September 11 attacks and justify the attacks in Afghanistan and Iraq. Even then, it was Ben Rhodes was to be appointed by the Bush administration to write the report of the Commission Kean / Hamilton on the attacks.
• In 2002, the CIA has used five channels, Televen, Globovision, Meridian, ValeTV and CMT, to believe that the huge demonstrations had forced the President of Venezuela Hugo Chavez to resign, as had been the victim of a military coup.
• In 2011, France 24 served as the de facto Ministry of Information of the National Council of Libya, with whom he was bound by a contract. In the battle of Tripoli, NATO did achieve in the studio and spread from al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya pictures of the Libyan rebels who entered the central square of the capital, while they were still far from the city, so that residents, convinced that the war was lost, all resistance ceased.
Now the media are no longer content to support the war, make it.
This provision violates the fundamental principles of international law, beginning with Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights concerning the fact "to receive and spread without regard for borders, information and ideas through any media of expression that is ". Above all, it violates the United Nations General Assembly resolutions, adopted after the Second World War to prevent war. Resolutions 110, 381 and 819 prohibit "the barriers to the free exchange of information and ideas" (in this case, the obscuration of the Syrian networks) and "propaganda that threatens to cause or encourage any threat to peace, breach of the peace, or act of aggression ". In law, the propaganda war is a crime against peace, crimes more serious, since it makes possible war crimes and genocide.

A Palestinian State?


A Palestinian State?

By Ron Paul

September 28, 2011 "
Information Clearing House" --  The Palestinian Authority's recent announcement that it would seek UN recognition as an independent state dominated the news and the political debate in the United States last week, though in truth it should mean very little to us. Only a political class harboring the illusion it can run the world obsesses over the aspirations of a tiny population on a tiny piece of land thousands of miles away. Remember, the UN initiated this persistent conflict with its 1947 Partition Plan.

Unfortunately the debate is dominated by those who either support the Israeli side in the conflict, or those who support the Palestinian desire for statehood. We rarely seem to hear the view of those who support the US side and US interests. I am on that side. I believe that we can no longer police the world. We can no longer bribe the Israelis and Palestinians to continue an endless "peace process" that goes nowhere. It is not in our interest to hector the Palestinians or the Israelis, or to "export" democracy to the region but reject it when people vote the "wrong" way.

I have reservations about the Palestinian drive for UN recognition. Personally I wish the United States would de-recognize the United Nations. As most readers already know, in every Congress I introduce legislation to end our membership in that organization. The UN is a threat to our sovereignty-- and as we are the main source of its income, it is a threat to our economic well-being. Increasingly over the past several years, we see the United Nations providing political and legal cover for the military aspirations of interventionists rather than serving as an international forum to preserve peace. Neoconservatives in the US have grown to love the United Nations as they co-opt the organization under the guise of endless "reform." Under the sovereignty-destroying doctrine of "
Responsibility to Protect," adopted at the 2005 World Summit, the UN takes it upon itself to intervene in internal conflicts of its member states whenever it believes that human rights are being violated. Thus under "Responsibility to Protect," the UN provides the green light for a kind of global no-knock raid on any sovereign country.

If asked, I would personally counsel the Palestinians to avoid the United Nations. UN membership and participation is no guarantee that sovereignty will be respected. We see what happens to UN members such as Iraq and Libya when those countries' leaders fall out of favor with US administrations: under US and allied pressure a fig leaf resolution is adopted in the UN to facilitate devastating military intervention. When the UN gave NATO the green light to bomb Libya there was no genocide taking place. It was a purely preventative war. The result? Thousands dead, a destroyed country, and extremely dubious new leaders.

While I do not see UN membership as a particularly productive move for the Palestinian leadership, I do not believe the US should use its position in the UN Security Council to block their membership. I believe in self-determination of peoples and I recognize that peoples may wish to pursue statehood by different means. As we saw after the Cold War, numerous new states were born out of the ruins of the USSR as the various old Soviet Republics decided that smaller states were preferable to an enormous and oppressive multi-national conglomerate.

The real, pro-US solution to the problems in the Middle East is for us to end all foreign aid, stop arming foreign countries, encourage peaceful diplomatic resolutions to conflicts, and disengage militarily. In others words, follow Jefferson's admonition: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none."

Congressman Ron Paul was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Gettysburg College and the Duke University School of Medicine, before proudly serving as a flight surgeon in the U.S. Air Force during the 1960s. He and his wife Carol moved to Texas in 1968, where he began his medical practice in Brazoria County.
